Boats on Sidewalks


  • Is this excessive?  
  • Should this be standard?  
  • Who came up with this idea?  
  • From where did they draw their inspiration?
  • Was this a leader with a vision?
  • Was this a brave person who floated their idea to a willing listener?
  • How is it funded?
  • Who maintains this?
Well, I LOVE this gorgeous boat filled with flora, fauna, and a water feature that takes up half of a very wide sidewalk.  To see the greenery and hear the water in the midst of a bustling downtown city brought calm in a typically overstimulating environment.

How can we bring biophilia into atypical environments?
